Carl Ashmore - writer of stuff ...
I have two budgies currently haranguing me from a yard away - and I can't wait to see the action scene!
Really. Maybe you should do what Joe does and hit the budgie with a garden gnome :) Of course, perhaps it's not really a budgie. I'm sure you get where I'm going with my thinking... :)
Oh, I've now had the re-write suggestions from Blair. Very interesting :)
Oh that is exciting. Was it stuff you were already working on?
Interesting - as in 'May you liver in interesting times'? Will you still feel it's your book if you do it all?
Yes and no, Emma.And yes, Ignite. The fact is, I can't do it all. I just hope they accept some compromises. Either way, the changes improve the first book and I can always approach other agents if they're not happy.
Thanks to Mark Baddeley for the lovely 56th review of 'The Time Hunters' in the UK :)
Just to keep everyone informed of the TH1 updates: There are now two new chapters called 'Becky, Brothers and Budgies' and 'The Time Room.'
Many thanks to Sophia Louise for the 16th straight 5 star review of The Time Hunters and the Box of Eternity Have a great weekend everyone.:)
Carl
A big thanks to MikeyMike for his 5 star review of TH1. That makes 51 out of 57 five star reviews in the UK. I couldn't be more grateful.:)Carl
Are your books doing well Carl? Yeppers!
:) I think so, Ignite :) xxxxAnd just to let everyone know that my novel 'Bernard and the Bibble' is free today :)

Thats a lovely book Carl - hope it does well.
Thanks, Ginger. I've a soft spot for the book, too.x
I love Bernard too. I go back to it every now and then :-) x
Awww, that' really sweet. My dad would've been delighted. And so am I :)
Just let everyone know that the revised 'The Time Hunters' Book 1 is now available to download.It's seven thousand plus words longer and 34 chapters as opposed to 24. Somethings have certainly changed and I think it's better than ever :)

Wayhey! We just ask Customer Services as usual I presume? Well done that man!
Yay!!! That is exciting. Will go over there now xx
No, the thanks should go to you, Kath. I'm guessing you just ask customer services. :)
Thanks, Emma. I hope it's ready to download. I haven't done it myself yet. :)
Have just sent email so will find out soon xx
I have too Carl, but I'm off out to daughter's for a Mum's Day lunch - I know it will be here for me when I get back.
If you go to the 'look inside' bit though it has 33 odd chapters listed so is definitely new version. Have shared on my FB too :-)
So do we have to buy the new book again or is there an option to get the updated version? Just wondering as I'm new to the Kindle.Loved both Time Hunters books so far, cant't wait for book 3 :o)
Hey Scott, you can email amazon customer services and the will send you the updated version, no charge. Takes about 2hrs from when you send message x
Thanks, Scott :) No, it should be free. As Emma says, just email customer services. This was never about making more money.x
Oh, and I've put a hint about the start of Book 3 on my blog.http://carlashmoreauthor.blogspot.co.uk/
That is just teasing Carl. *cracks whip* hurry up with TH3!!! Am getting impatient now ;-) xxx
Ha@Emma. I've been working for ages on the re-writes of TH1. I'm afraid you may have to wait for TH3 :)xxx
Yes, emailed customers before I went to bed last night and I had a response waiting when I woke confirming they had sent a download to my Kindle. It is now waiting there for me to finish my current book before I dive back in for the new and improved version of The Time Hunters. Looking forward to it :-)
It's different (it starts differently) but it doesn't feel like a different book. It's the same only more so. It's bigger but tighter. I'm not putting this well am I? You can see why I'm not a writer!
I think I need to read the new version soon, sounds great. Did you see that Bernard and the Bibble is free today? Another great offering from Carl :-)
Yeppers! I commented in the MOA over there.
Thanks Carl. I shall bag myself a Bibble. I love that word - almost as much as Munkle ;)
Thanks Nicola - love the new Alice Parker cover. Bless you, Kath.
And thanks Scott, Joo and Emma,Ignite, I think you sum it up beautifully. It is longer but tighter :)
I've just returned from a lovely week in Tenby, so I thought I'd start the promotion bandwagon again.As I like to throw TH readers nuggets about what's to come - well, TH3 is set at Xmas so meet Rodger - the red-nosed ....
http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/mammal/a...
I like Rodger already! One of those on the front lawn with lights on would certainly impress the neighbours - and hide the house :)
Yay! Welcome back Carl. Haven't see you round here for ages! So when do you think TH 3 will be out? I am getting impatient!! :-)
My dad's name is Rodger. Apparently his father misspelt Roger on the birth certificate. It always catches my eye when I see that "D"
Yay! As a geology graduate (back when the geology was the soil!) I love something extinct. It makes me feel less old!Tenby is wonderful. We went there for a week as undergrads - part of our field work was on that coast - ans we always said we'd go back. We still could; we ain't dead yet!
Yes, Uncle Percy paints a football red and fixes it to his nose. :)Oooh, it'll be a fair while, I'm afraid, Emma.
Is that right, Joo ? One of my students spells it with a 'D'. I might change it to the normal way.
Ignite, you should. Here's the house we stayed in. It was lovely ad very reasonably priced despite its size. I really can recommend it.

But Roger is a boring way to spell it.Rodger is shortened nicely to Rodge. It also rhymes nicer with Dodger, Bodger, Lodger

Yes,Emma (who is is certainly fantastic), I had a nice email saying their full suggestions should be with me soon.
I have started anyway, and I've really enjoyed the re-writing. There is now an action scene in Chapter one involving a budgie that I think works pretty well :)
